I hear ya! I relate to the stress. It never seems to go away, does it? Go with your gut and do what you need to do. I have my mom here with me and don't have to deal with dad. Hugs!

So once again sending blessings and good things for you and your parents. I don't know the situation but having dealt with my own parents, realize that things can be very difficult....wish I could be of more help but prayers are all I have.

Raising children is far easier. :|

The role reversal between parent and child is certainly difficult. Bless you for all you do for them.

My parents are still relatively healthy and independent, I'm happy to say. But a few years ago my Grandmother was living out her last years in a rest home. I took my guitar up to play her a couple of songs and next thing you know she had all her old friends gathered around to listen to me. I played basically every tune I had music for, and Grandma was flitting around like the Queen Bee. Literally 7 days later, I played one of those songs at her funeral. I was so grateful for the impulse that led me to take my guitar and go see Grandma. (Coincidentally, my band now plays at rest homes regularly, about 6 shows a month.)

Sometimes you have to give up being President of the Universe and just let go. Things will work out the way they are supposed to. You'll be in our prayers.

you're a good man for taking care of them. I can only hope my boys will look out for me when I'm older like you do.

You guys are the best. Talked to a support worker down south and she has confirmed the path I am choosing to take as the best and only real option. Nice to hear that. Again, thank you all.

Happy to hear that you have a reliable support worker....that could be the most important person in this situation.

There is always one culprit who will try and ruin the day for you. Remember, if you do all you can do and there is no way for you to change something, don't worry about it! All that does is drag you down. so: DON'T WORRY 'BOUT IT!

Northern, Faith-Persistence-Resolve are EXCELLENT watchwords right now IMO. Sometimes when everything else in our worlds seems out of control, being able to have control and stability in one area of our life helps. It creates a little piece of normalcy that can be a rock to cling to. I know you'll make the best of all possible decisions. My best wishes to you. I know what you're doing is tough.
